Very interesting....guess I should be glad my son is one of the 33% that didn't! He was born in January and got sent home with a bili blanket....we called him our little glow worm for 4 days....he's almost 13 now and def not autistic.

See if anything actually come of this in the future...

I don't mean to offend anyone or cause an argument but people are trying to link everything to autism. If all babies that had jaundice were autistic then most everyone would be. I had severe jaundice and I'm not autistic.

it's funny because I have one cousin who had severe jundice when he was born and another who didn't and the one who didn't has Autism.I agree with pp who said it seems like they're trying to link everything and anything to Autism.

I read some actual parts of the research and it looks like it is women who go over 40 weeks and the jaundice is severe/untreated that it is an issue or that is the link. Â But, one research article is not enough to make an argument about the link. Â It is interesting, but I don't think any of us should freak out about it. Â 60% of newborns get jaundice. Â My 2 year-old had a mild case of it. Â There is a lot of other factors that go into autism and they just don't know all the pieces yet.

I think all these studies and links are out there because they're trying to find out what causes autism. It is something no one wishes on their child, so if they find out what causes it, then maybe fewer children will develop it. As pp said, one study is not conclusive. Take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe in 20 years, everything they learned in this study and other studies will help get rid of autism altogether.

I just wanted to see what you ladies thought. I don't agree with the findings. My husband was severly jaundice and no autism. They say that Hep B shot could cause it..jeez eating a hotdog could cause it..dont leave your house or eat anything ever again..you might catch autism!It's definately not a laughing matter, but the things people come up with. If you dont know..just say you dont know!
